Regarding Creativity | Free Printable

July 30, 2013

I look at Louis with those big ole’ blue eyes and can’t help but wonder what the future holds for him. At one-month shy of his 3rd birthday, kiddo has already shown signs of creativity beyond the realm of most adults I know. Based upon that alone, I can already guess a few things about teenaged/adult Louis.

Sleep will be the last priority. (We’ve already seen flashes of this. Practically since day one.)

Instead of looking at something in a store and simply wanting to buy it, he’ll be thinking about how he can recreate it or make it better himself. (Bennett and I are super guilty on this one.) :cough:theskirtsikeepmaking:cough:

Simple tasks of housework/chores will ALWAYS be second to creating. No joke, our house is allllllways a disaster zone.

Friends will always be asking for advice on things. Which is totally great. But sometimes they have this idea that you’re more of a genius than you actually are and you can’t answer the question or solve the problem.

Parents are a tough sell. We won’t always understand what his goals/dreams/wishes are but we will always be supportive of it. Always.

He will struggle. He will want to give up. And there will be days when he wants to hide under a rock and avoid the world because he feels like a complete failure. He will fail. But there will always and forever be a spark in him that pushes him onward and upward and it won’t ever die down.

And finally – if he’s anything like his Daddy and Momma, he will NEVER be able to answer the question: “What do you want to be when you grow up/get older?” Because that question is just plain ridiculous. We want to be EVERYTHING.

Sound familiar to any other creative minds out there?
